Fucking yes… finally! Thank you, Ireland, Spain, and Netherlands!
“Ireland will not participate in next year’s Eurovision Song Contest, and it will not be broadcast on RTÉ, after organiser the European Broadcasting Union confirmed today that Israel will be allowed to take part … Spain’s national broadcaster RTVE and the Netherlands’ AvroTros also announced that they would boycott the contest.”
Maybe we should rename it to the Genocidevision Song Contest?
Now… any more European countries with a backbone?

…oh. 😬
Gotta say while I am disappointed I’m not exactly surprised. YLE has had a habit in recent years of being a fucking bunch of cowards when standing up for what’s right isn’t the easiest path possible.
Sigh, seems like it’s yet another year when Eurovision just doesn’t fucking exist to me. Fuck them. It’s a fucking parody of what it used to be and not worth anyone’s time or attention.

Was saying that, as more countries outside of Europe join, generally, "Eurovision" seems like a less apt name.

The current gov of germany is the least gov representing the people here in decades. They all are mad inkompetent and work unlawfully rather for the interest of companies, in fact preparing this country to become home for a fascist regime again.
Explains a lot. #FascistsSupportFascists
Just sayin'.😒
